Riding Lessons

Our focus is on small group sessions and learning at your own pace – you’ll never be just one of the crowd at the Ride High Equestrian Centre.

Our instructors work with people who’ve never ridden before, nervous riders who’d like to build confidence, returning riders who want to refresh their skills and those who’ve ridden a lot. Whatever your previous experience our aim is to give you an enjoyable and rewarding time with our beautiful horses.

Before your lesson be sure to check out our Important Information page which includes information on how to book, what to wear and more. You can find out more about our lesson lengths and pricing on the Price List page.
